Good evening! First of all thanks to Bin4ry and kabaldan for gaining (and sharing!) root access to this little, but powerful phone.
I'm sure that the first thing many users who have rooted their devices do is to remove all the bloatware they received with the X10Mini/Pro.
But.. Having said that I am raising a couple of questions which are written (but not limited to) below;
'How do I remove the stock applications I received with my X10Mini/Pro?'
'Which applications are safe to remove, and which are not?'
'Is it worth removing them at all? I never use them anyways.'
'Is it possible to restore them once I have removed them?'
Before answering any of these questions I would like to make it clear;
I know that guides to remove pre-installed apps exists, however - I am aiming to create (with the help of the community) a list of services/applications which are safe to remove, and a list of services/applications that are not for this specific device (X10Mini/Pro).
Also, before removing any pre-installed application it is a must that you have root access to your X10Mini/Pro, there are two methods of gaining root access:
Exploid method - by kabaldan
FOTA method - by bin4ry
After you have gained root access you can begin removing the pre-installed applications:
1. Open cmd (Command Prompt)
2. Navigate to the folder where you have extracted adb
3. Connect your phone in 'Charge' mode
4. Run the following commands (what they do is explained below):
This is used to enter the shell, duh.
Code:
adb shell
Getting root permissions.
Code:
su
Mounting the system 'block' to a read/write capable directory.
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
Navigating to the applications directory.
Code:
cd /system/app
Listing all currently installed packages - applications/services.
Code:
ls
This is used for removing packages, where packagename is replaced by the application/service name you wish to remove (case sensitive! - write the packagename exactly as shown in the list).
Code:
rm -r packagename.apk
Important note: Removing critical/important services or applications might cause the device to freeze, application that were dependent on the removed service to crash and in worth case cause system failure.
"What's the deal with this topic.. There are many of these tutorials around..."
This is the part where this topic becomes unique - The 'Safe List' for X10Mini/Pro.
Applications/Services which are completely safe to remove:
<Under Construction>
Applications/Services which are partially safe to remove (removing these components may cause some features to not function and preventing other application from starting):
<Under Construction>
Applications/Services which are not safe to remove (removing these components may cause high freeze ratio and system failure):
<Under Construction>
These lists will be populated with the information that members of this community will share with us, I will contribute as well when I get deeper into slimming down the X10Mini/Pro.
If I have missed a topic which is identical to this one, I apologize - if there is no topic identical to this one I would like to motivate the users which have removed some pre-installed applications (from the X10Mini/Pro!) to report back here so we can populate the lists.
I have included a .zip full of pre-installed applications, note that some are already removed(games, roadsync, wisepilot), the .apks are taken directly from '/system/app' and these come from:
Model: E10i
Firmware: 1.6
Core: 2.6.29
Version: 1.1.A.0.8
Download .zip
Thank you for your time reading this topic,
Phenombox
After some app removal I've managed to strip down the list of installed applications. The phone still boots without problem and the remaining apps seems to be working without problems.
Link to list: Here
More information will be up

Is it possible already to replace the built-in dialer and sms-reader apps with those from Vanilla or HTC?
Would be interested doing that, I am especially annoyed by dialler switching off screen when I want to end call!!

You are not alone on this 'issue'.
If it's possible to unpack the Phone.apk and edit the /res/anim/glow.xml I think this would solve the issue.
If you are talking about replacing the default SMS Application, then I suggest you try out 3rd party SMS Application like 'Handscent SMS'.

I have extracted and tried to edit the Phone.apk's animations, even after repacking and signing the new Phone.apk my X10Mini won't take it.. It gives me 0 signal and if I try to make a call 'acore' crashes.
Hi
I just would like to mentionned that we can uninstall app directly from the phone with titanium backup app. It's on the market and it's free. Before to uninstall, of course we can make a backup of the selected app.
ReadyToRun.apk is safe to remove
(its the registration prompt sms)
So has anyone figured out how to remove the default lockscreen and homescreen?

Should fix the bootup error.
if you don't remove TimeScapeProvider.apk then there is no error on boot!. Removing timescape disables phonebook userprofile extrainfo button (that rotated eight right upper corner). but since i don't use it anyway there is no problem.
i removed neoreader.apk and replaced with better barcode scanner
Talk.apk is safe

Seems like the TimeScape is phone-specific about the error on boot-up, cause removing TimeScapeProvider.apk fixed the error on my device.

Doesnt this need re-signing of the file afterwards etc? Im scared about bricking my phone.
This is meant to be a basic guide to installing and maintaining Android (SD CARD/RAM) on your HD2
NOTE: This guide is not meant for NAND versions of Android installation !!
I want to thank all the XDA forum developers who have made it possible to put Android on the HD2. This is my attempt to make a simple guide for what can be confusing and somewhat scary process (It certainly felt like that to me!!).
For detailed information guide and FAQ please read this thread by mskip
For clear explanation of how things work in Android on HD2 these two threads have excellent detailed information:

Before you start you need this Info
Windows ROM version > All Ship ROMs are compatible
Radio Version > Radio needs to be 2.08.50.xx or more (x.xx.51.xx are not compatible)
SPL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to get the Info
For items 1,2 in WinMo look under Settings>About Phone>Software information
This info is also displayed on the bottom left corner (the numbers after the alphabets R,D,G) of your initial boot up white screen with green HTC logo
For item 3 >> Turn phone off > Press and hold Volume down button >briefly press release power button >SPL version is displayed on bootloader screen (Red/Green/White)

Click to collapse
For those with Radio < 2.08.xx.xx you cannot install Android without upgrading your Radio (Flashing a new Radio) >> GO TO STEP A then STEP B
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP A (Flashing a new Radio)
If you do not have a compatible Radio version follow the steps below:
Upgrading to the newest HTC stock ROM: This process will upgrade your Radio version anyway (The latest 3.14 ROM has Radio version 2.14.50.4 which is compatible with Android installation): LINK HERE
If you don't want to / or can't upgrade to the latest HTC stock ROM you are going to have a slightly more complicated way
If SPL is 2.10.xxxx or below then use HSPL method. Click here
If SPL is more than 2.10.xxxx you have 2 choices (since HSPL does not work)
Use SSPL method click here
Downgrade your SPL and then use HSPL method click here
Note:
>>Please check the radio version recommended by the Android Build maker>>
>> Click here if you want to download Radio versions
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP B (Installing Android)
If your Radio is compatible (>2.08.50.xx) then here is how to install Android on your HD2
1) Micro SDHC card
Should be atleast 4 Gb, Class 2/4/6/8/10
Formatted clean with 32 or 64 Kb cluster size
2) Install automatic boot loader on WinMo :
This allows you to choose between booting into Windows or Android on start up. From 2nd Android bootup onwards these programs will make it easier to load Windows/Android at startup and you can even specify autoboot into Android if you wish.
Download this as a cab file and install in the phone memory (not in SD card)
Android Loader v6.0 Final for HD2
Exceller bootloader
You can of course manually always boot up Android anytime from Windows File Explorer by running CLRCAD and then HaRET files included in the Android build (see below).
3) Android Build :
Download your chosen Android build on your computer.
Extract / Unzip the folder on the computer
Now copy into the Root of your SD card.
Folder should be labelled "Android"
Once copied into SD card you will see 2 files: CLRCAD.exe and HaRET.exe which have to be run to boot into Android.
There will also be other folders / files (Android Apps, initrd.gz, system.ext2, rootfs.img, zimage, startup.txt, ts-calibration) please leave them as they are.
There are many choices in builds available, such as - MDJ, Darkstone, MIUI,. Please search the forum to look at the different features. I can't advise you on what clothes to buy. The same reasoning applies to advising on Android builds, you have to find out what is right for you...Try the build, if you dont like it, just go for another build..copy and paste your new android folder over the old one and its done.....
4) Data.img :
Your build may have a ready-made one included in the build folder or available to download separately. Size of data image is upto you, 256Mb/512Mb/1Gb (or more). This determines the Size of your Android operating system space for settings and downloaded apps etc. Bigger size allows you to keep more apps etc.
>> At start up if you have a ready-made data.img file, booting up in Android is much faster (5-10 min). (You can choose the image size yourself with this option)
>> If you boot up without a ready-made data.img (Clean Install), then this is created by Android system at first bootup which takes longer (up to 30 min) Here the system will choose its own set default image size depending on startup commands in the build. Its not easy to change this size once its created (although it is possible)
5) First Android Boot
Once you have reached this step you are all set. It really is that simple!
These steps are performed with the phone booted in WinMo
Charge your phone to 100%. This ensures proper battery calibration.
In your File Explorer open the Android folder on the SD card
Run CLRCAD - Nothing seems to happens - This is normal. !!!
Run HARET - Small pop up window with grey progress bar appears with message HaRET LINUX BOOTING - You should then see some text lines in the top left corner of the screen and then a Splashscreen (blank screen with a HTC logo) Please be patient and allow time for the initial bootup.
If Android loads successfully, then (depending on your build )another Splashscreen will appear and then the Lockscreen for Android is launched.
Set up your phone for first use as per onscreen instructions and let all account finish syncing before doing anything else
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once you are up and running here are some of my own tips to maintain your system.
1) Always back up of your data.img file on to your pc/mac (weekly)
This is better done in WinMo. This will mean that you can always have a failsafe arrangement for troubleshooting.
2) Troubleshooting (If you start getting data corruption errors or force closes .
> Make another Clean Install of the build -Boot into Android- Reboot in WinMo - Connect to Computer - Copy backedup data.img file into the New (compatible) Android folder.
DONE! you are back where you started. All apps, settings, contacts,emails, messages are saved as they were at the time of backup.
You can also use a backup programme like Titanium Pro. This is useful when going over to a completely different chef build as you cannot (usually) take your old data.img file across.
3) Changing kernels
Follow instructions on the relevant thread.
For MDJ / Hastarin Kernels the following steps work
Boot up in windows - copy 'zimage' and 'Root' folder (which has modules) from the new kernel and paste into your /Android folder on SD card (i.e replace zimage of old kernel).-
Boot up android - check for successful upgrade under Settings>About phone>Software>Kernel ... the new kernel should be listed.
On boot up android will copy the contents of the /Android/Root folder to the relevant place.
If upgrade is successful then while in Android use a File explorer (with root permissions) to delete the 'Root' folder within Android folder, as this is no longer needed.
Note: Some kernels require the Modules (wifi,bt,lights etc) to be copied manually using Root File explorer while booted in Android. Please check the relevant posts for correct steps.
4) Upgrading Android Builds
I always do a clean install i.e let the Android build its own data.img with a clean formatted SD card.
Once this is done then copy your old backed up data.img and overwrite the newly created data.img to get all your info and settings as they were.
Caution: data.img is usually not compatible across different chef builds and its best to start a clean install if you are going to use a completely different build altogether. You can get you settings back by using a backup programme such as Titanium. Google sync will get your Contacts and Calendar back anyway if you have synced it previously to Gmail account.
5) Improving Battery Life
Having read through a lot of forums and trying out various techniques here are tips that have worked for me.
Charge your phone in WinMo to 100% (Green LED) While still connected to charger boot to Android and wait for the LED to go green. Then disconnect from charger.
Autoboot before launching into windows/sense fully, I use Exceller autoboot in 3 sec.
Rebooting Android 2-3 times after initial install and letting it 'settle' for a 1-2 days
Turn off any functions not required e.g BT, WiFi, GPS, Autosync
Turn down screen brightness to minimum
Use a battery current widget to monitor drain
Conditioning of battery: Boot into windows when battery is @ 5%, Discharge the battery fully and let the phone turn off> charge fully to green LED while phone off >> Boot up in Android and continue charging till LED green>> One cycle every 2 weeks
Recalibration: In Android with File explorer (e.g ES Explorer), Choose settings, enable root access and then in Root delete ... /data/system/batterystats.bin . This should be done when 100% charged, Now disable root access in file explorer and close, Run the battery down fully and follow the step above...
Fully conditioned battery should show about 4.2 - 4.3 V charge at 100% (Free app Battery Indicator)
Dataswitch (free app) allows switching mobile data when phone is not in use such as during night time etc
I keep Airplane mode in windows as default before first boot in Android (Not sure if this really helps)
For me greatest battery drain seems to be when i am in area of poor phone signal> switching to 2G helps using Dataswitch app
Things that don't work:
Task killers are not really very useful according to Hastarin

"Radio Version > Radio needs to be 2.08.50.xx or more"
more correct
Noob question
Hi!
ive done all this last summer, and it all works fine.
but i wonder if android will work if you have the original WM6.5 insted of Chucky, and other costum ROM?
i mean, the customs are really ugly, and i never use them on dual boot - but i would use WM6.5 if i had the original one, with sense and everything.
the dual boot would be more useful. now i only use android.

I agree with you on that. The stock ROM work fine (check my sig) and to be honest I tried the custom ROMs but felt more comfortable with the Stock ROM. It means less messing around with your phone!
Its most important however that your Radio is compatible though. If its not then there is no choice but to Flash a new Radio ROM.
Seems to be well explained, thanks
What is the advantage of letting the Android build create its own data.img first and then overwriting it with your previous data.img?
Ahh i just told mate at work copy android to sd card run cllr then haret.
Worked fine lol

This only applies for Upgrading and not a New install. For a new install its always better to let the system create a data image or use the 'empty' image supplied with the build. Most builds have codes to create a default size image. If thats not to your liking then you can choose a supplied image of desired size and do the first boot up...
For upgrading purposes this method has advantages
1) it ensures a clean trouble free installation first time (makes sense to avoid any conflicts with the old data image on boot up.)
2) If there are any problems with the build then at least you can identify them before you transfer the old data image.

Hey, would doing this void my warranty/contract insurance?
Im on virgin media UK, if that helps.
Thanks for the great tutorial anyway
Unless u install a HSPL my understanding is that there is no reason to void your warranty. But I m no expert in these matters. Having said that my old hd2 touchscreen was freezing and I had hspl on it but managed to reinstall the original SPL back and returned it to virgin and this one is the replacement..they didn't complain ..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I have radio 2.07.51,22_2 and spl 1.42
Does that mean the only way I can do this is the HSPL method?
Great guide m8 good job well explained, but I dont know if this helps anyone but I always un-mount my SD card before a reboot or shutdown, on some builds it can reduce corruption to your data image (ie cedesmiths builds)
JR
@ samdeath . Have u considered upgrading your HTC stock ROM? The new 3.14 ROM also upgrades ur radio. In that case there is no messing with HSPL. The other option is SSPL which does not change ur original SPL.
@ JR . In theory if u umnount the SD Card in Android, it only delinks the the SD card portion outside of your data image? If u umnount the whole SD card then android would crash.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I cant upgrade the stock rom, there isnt a virgin media rom on the htc website, and the normal one says my device is not eligible for it. However, ive installed HSPl now, and followed all the steps, changed the radio to 2.15 etc, However now ive just "installed" android for the first time and its been on the htc spash screen for like an hour. I did not use a data file, is this normal?
Using froyo hd v4.6 btw
I was excited about the rollout of Android 2.1 on X10 last November (it finally arrived...), then I was able to install more apps and experience more fun with upgraded os. However, here also comes the problem, I only had 40MB left in my internal memory, and App2sd can only be done with millions of steps...
So I was thinking.. if I have to put in so much effort just to get App2sd working, why not just spend the effort to install a custom ROM with Android 2.2 (where App2sd becomes a build-in capability, and I will be able to do voice actions too!)
Honestly, it was easier than I thought, but there are some details you probably want to pay attention to in the process, so I am writing this comprehensive guide here that can be easily followed (even for newbies!).
[All credits go to the CyanogenMod dev team for the custom ROM, zdzihu for xRecovery, Androxyde and Bin4ry for FlashTool, ShortFuse for SuperOneClick, Froshed Blue for themes.
Thank you all for the incredible work to make this possible! And sorry if I missed anyone...
NOTE: I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG.
1. Back up all your data.
- Use apps in the market such as MyBackupPro to back up all contacts, sms, call log etc. If your phone is rooted, you can also back up app+data with it (so you won't lose your progress on games or apps).
- OR you can sync your contacts etc via your Google account, and back up all apps with Astro.
- DO NOT use the backup & restore app with the stock 2.1, after you flash to 2.2, this app won't be available anymore, and there is no way you could retrive the data from the .sbf file generated by it!
UPDATE: SE Backup & Restore is now available here in the Extras section. I haven't tested it yet but if you want you can give it a try.
2. If you have already updated your phone to baseband 2.1.54 or 2.1.55, skip this step.
- Otherwise, go to here to find and download the most updated firmware (I used X10a _2_1_A_0_435 with DualTouch).
- Download FlashTool v0.29, copy the firmware you downloaded earlier to the firmware folder in FlashTool.
- Now flash your phone with this firmware, follow the instructions on the screen.
3. Root your phone.
- Download SuperOneClick v1.7 from shortfuse.org.
- Root with one simple click.
4. Install Busybox and xRecovery.
- Get Busybox from the market, once it's opened, it will tell you that your phone is rooted, install the newest version into /bin.
- Download xRecovery, rename the apk file to xRecovery.Zip.
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder with 3 files - chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar).
- Copy these 3 files into /system/bin using app Root Explorer. (Note: this is the manual installation method, which I found more stable, or you can just use automatic install with the xRecovery.apk downloaded earlier.)
5. Copy the files for ROM installation (CM 6.1.3 V4, Google Apps Pack, and new Android market) onto your SD card.
UPDATE: CM 6.1.3 V4.5.7 is out with Camcorder working, in this step, you will copy CM 6.1.3 V4.5, CM 6.1.3 V4.5.7 instead of V4.
6. Install custom ROM.
- Reboot your phone.
- Right after the SE white text appears, press the back button a few times until xRecovery comes on (if it doesn't work, try one more time or reinstall xRecovery using the manual method if you didn't.)
- In xRecovery, use volume button to move up and down, home to enter.
- Do a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, Advance Options> Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Battery Stats.
- Then install Custom Zip and choose CM6.1.3-V4.zip (or V4.5) for your SD card for the ROM. (If you are installing V4.5, install Custom Zip - V4.5.7 after this step.)
- Install Custom Zip and choose CM-V4Gapps.zip (or V4.5.7) for Google Apps.
- Reboot your phone, go to programs>sysctl, set the parameters to the following:
vm.min_free_kbytes = 16284
vm.dirty_ratio = 90
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 55
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 20
oom kill checked- Login to market once, reboot your phone to xRecovery again, install Custom Zip and choose NewMarket.zip.
If you want more selections of theme, check out this thread.
Post Actions
- Restore all your information and apps.
- Get App2SD from market to easily move apps to SD or internal memory, or you can do it manually in settings>application settings>manage application. (Note: if you want to display a widget of an app, keep the app on the phone, DO NOT move it to SD as widget will not be available for apps moved to the SD.)
- MIUI Camera is included with the ROM, or you can use Camera360 (tested working). If you want camera flashlight, use Vigenette.
UPDATE: MIUI Camcorder is working on v4.5.
- Go to settings>cyanogenmod settings and settings>ADWLauncher for more tweaks.
UPDATE: ADWLauncher is been replaced by another launcher (I forgot the name) in V4.4+

This ROM is really great, thanks for all the devs, been using this for more than a week now. My only concern is the color of the LED while charging, seems like its over burning or something is there a way to change LED charging color? been searching a lot but in vain.
thanx ... good guide
I was forever feeling hesitant to install custom roms and stuff but after reading your guide I decided to go ahead with it and as u said it was much easier than I thought..
But i prefer Freex10 to CM 6.1.3 , I really dont like CM 6.1.3 interface it does not look good
Thanks a lot mate

Hmmm ... never thought of that since it doesn't concern me but if you want to change LED notification color for different apps, you can do it at CMsettings-user interface.

really? I am not sure how to fix it since I never experienced this. But I do notice with the new 2.2 rom, it takes some time to recognize all the data on SD card at the initial start (both on the phone and on the computer).
The first time I connect to computer (USB storage mode) it took 5 mins for the computer to recognized it, and the phone was kind of froze for a while, but after that it's all fine.. maybe just try to wait a bit?
Mehn thanks for this. Soooooo easy.

I'm just in the process of running through the guide now. Can't wait!!!
I have got a problem with completing Step 4. I have downloaded and install BusyBox from the MarketPlace but when I open it up all I get is a blank OK message and the Status: Looking for BusyBox...
Any ideas??
Also I can open xRecovery but if I click on the "Install xRecovery" button I get the little magnify glass change to a red stop circle.
Any ideas??
This is also I post of the Root Log

Thank you!!! Your guide was very helpful to me! Sorry for my bad English
Please ignore my last post as I have now figured out what I was doing wrong. I didn't know there was two different BusyBox downloads.
Anyway, I now have it installed, however I cannot figure out where to set the following parms.
If you could point me in the right direction it would be much appericated.
Thanks again
Thanks for this. Quick question, it may seem dumb but what do you mean when you say to :
"Reboot your phone, go to programs>sysctl, set the parameters to the following:
vm.min_free_kbytes = 16284
vm.dirty_ratio = 90
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 55
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 20
oom kill checked"
Where in the menu do I find "programs" exactly?
NM... I didnt realize Sysctl was an App from the market. When I first completed it, I didnt have service so I couldnt use the Market. Flashed again and it works.
Thanks!

Are you referring to the parms for sysctl? if you go to the list of all applications, there is a pre-installed app called sysctl config (it's like a penguin icon), then you will be able to set the parameters there. hopefully this answers your question!
Coming soon: Full access to the 2.x market.
Progress is being made to bring the new market to the NC (less the FC permissions or APK signature issues.) Check posts towards the end of this thread for more info.
UPDATE - Version 1.1a - 4/27 - NOW WITH MORE ROOT!
I'm happy to announce that I now have a much improved version of apk-enabler all packaged up and ready to install. This version will work much better than the last one, and should provide much better application compatibility.
Version 1.1a:
Major update...
* Added Edify code to clean up old versions before installing or re-installing (either version)
* Updated su (version 2.3.6.1 - thanks dascud)
* Updated and relocated Superuser.apk (now lives in /data/app so updates will not complian about it being a "system application" anymore.)
* Added Zeam 2.9.2 to /data/app
* Added NookColorTools to /data/app
* Added SoftKeys 3.06 to /data/app (in case anyone needs this - some apps don't display the nook status bar properly.)
* Added latest busybox binary to /system/bin
* Added a crapload of symlinks to busybox functions in /system/xbin. Almost everything works now (grep, mount, etc) without having to run through busybox or toolbox. (thanks RileyGrant)
* I have attempted to perma-enable adb by setting the adb_enabled value in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db. Unfortunately it appears that this setting is ignored - at least when auto mounting is enabled. See notes below.
Notes:
Now that we have busybox and a current version of su, we now have what resembles a "normal" android shell environment. More apps should work with the updates, and we can now get a shell (then su) via adb. You can also run the Android Termainl app and su from there.
Also, since Zeam and SoftKeys now baked in, the first boot will now ask for your preference of default launchers (Home, SoftKeys, or Zeam.)
To get ADB working, you need to update your drivers, and play with settings in NookColorTools (development section) to enable USB debugging.
I have validated this install via a fresh install and over-top of existing installs. The only requirement is that the Nook has been turned on and registered. You can flash this over older versions, the script cleans up cruft from prior runs before installation.
Original Post:
So I went about fooling around with the stock 1.2 ROM, and like many I was frustrated by the lack of certain apps in the Nook app store. So here's a little work-around until we get a properly rooted solution in place:
What this hack does:
* Updates the SQLite Settings Database (data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db) with a hacked version, enabling the install_non_market_apps and adb_enabled settings.
* Installs a version of "su" in /bin and /xbin.
* Installs busybox to /system/bin and sets symlinks for most shell commands in /system/xbin
* Installs SuperUser.apk, SoftKeys_3.06.apk, NookColorTools_0.2.apk, and zeam-2.9.2.apk to /data/app (you may uninstall any of these if you wish.)
* With these in place, the stock browser (and other Market apps) are fully capable of downloading, launching, and installing .apk files of your choosing.
Is this safe? What if I brick my Nook?
The Nook Color bootloader will boot anything you throw at it. There are no signature checks anywhere, and even their own code is signed using test keys. If you get a bad flash or whatever, you can always boot your Clockwork SD card and restore from there. Remember - this is not a phone - there is no subsidy or baseband to protect. So, no there's no S-ON, locked boot loader, or any of that other silly crap the carriers do to screw their customers. You can flash forwards, backwards, sideways, whatever you want, as long as you can put it on an SD card.
Overall, this is no more dangerous than running a stock android device with the "Unknown Sources" setting enabled. Nothing is happening yet that is uncharacteristic of a "standard", vanilla android device.
That said, you should probably make a backup while you are running Clockwork, just to be on the extra-safe-side.
So, is this a full ROM that I can use to flash the 1.2 update?
No. This is a stand-alone update to 1.2 that overwrites one file and adds two others. You need to have 1.2 up and running in order to use this.
How to install...
First, you must have a microSD card already flashed with ClockworkMod. I'm not getting into that, you can find a good guide in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735
(thanks fpga_guy)
NOTE - THIS WILL ERASE YOUR SD CARD - SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO PICK UP A CHEAP 2GB CARD FOR THIS.
* Once you have Clockwork set up, drop the attached zip in the root directory, and reboot your Nook Color. Once Clockwork is booted:
* Select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard"
* Select "Yes - Install apk-enabler-1-1a-signed.zip". The install process will begin promptly.
* Once flashed, you will be prompted to Reboot,
* The Nook OS will almost certainly crash on the first reboot - I'm not sure why as of yet... If it does, hold the power button until the Nook powers off completely, then turn it back on. It should continue to boot normally after this point.
* Once you are back up, you can use the browser to download and run .APK files from anywhere. Some apps do not work, others do. Fortunately for us, Superuser.apk is one that does
As for launchers, you will not see your installed apps in the Extras area of the stock launcher - B&N is doing something shady here... Instead, you will need to install another Launcher. Zeam seems to work well, while ADW doesn't.
Once Zeam is installed, you can hit the "Home" button and select it as your Launcher (permanantly, if you like...) This is where you'll see all of your downloaded apps.
I have attached the flashable zip file, plus links to SuperUser.apk and Zeam. Use the built-in Nook browser to install both of these to your device. Once you download an APK file, tap the notificaiton in the lower left corner and select "Package Installer." The usual Android install screen will appear, and you know what to do from there...
What's not working?
Probably lots of things. I know ADW doesn't work, and the open source Terminal emulator doesn't either... Superuser.apk detects SU, which is a good thing. It isn't "full root access" until I hack /etc/fstab to mount /system r/w (probably tomorrow.) B&N hacked up the frameworks pretty bad for this, so there are probably lots of issues with non-market apps. However, this should open the door to someone willing to port Nookie Froyo (or something similar) over to the stock 1.2 ROM.
Credit where credit is due:
First, thanks to everyone on XDA, the official Nook forum, CyanogenMod, NookDevs, some kind folks on IRC who helped me sort out the partition layout, some helpful folks in this thread, and probably 20 others that I'm forgetting. This would not have been possible without your help.
Where do we go from here?
I suspect we will have something more like Autonooter in a day or so... However, this is a fully usable solution for the time being. You have su, busybox, Superuser, SoftKeys, and a Launcher.
Also, someone needs to look into getting side-loaded apps onto the home-screen and/or into the Extras screen. My fear is that B&N is checking signatures there - but hopefully I'm wrong on that one....

GApps don't work because framework.jar needs to be ported from another release. B&N broke it.
Alternative keyboards and things like that will probably break (again, due to dependancies that have been broken by B&N.)
Fortunately, B&N left enough of the package installer intact to allow us to get this far.
(feel free to add to this list, I'll only test what I personally plan to use.)

You're welcome. I'll look into Root Explorer - I'm not sure if it's a root issue or an issue with that software. Superuser thinks it has root, so I would think other apps would as well.
FYI /system is not mounted as read/write yet - perhaps that is what Root Explorer is complaining about?

Right. As I mentioned, I need to fix fstab to mount everything with read/write permissions (which I plan to do tomorrow.) This is really more of a work-around to get apps on the device. We will gain better control of it over time.

I'm guessing, very much likely, that you didn't include a Superuser.apk into /system/app which allows Root Explorer to request use of su in xbin. I'm going to try and get an AN version going for 1.2 in a day or two.

I didn't include it because it wasn't necessary. su is present, Superuser in apk form works. The only thing missing is to re-mount everything as rwxrwx---. That would satisfy the root explorer requirement without having to go the full autonooter route. For now, anwyay....
What you describe is simply a tweak to /etc/fsatb and possibly some changes here and there in some init scripts. It shouldn't be a difficult update, re-mounting file-systems isn't exactly the hardest thing to do in Linux.
The big headline here is "load apps from untrusted sources" - something that the Nook Color is physically incapable of doing out-of-the-box. In fact, their plan is exactly the opposite. Entangle the user with app purchases that they can't get anywhere else, and cannot transfer in or out of the Nook ecosystem. That problem is solved for now, and it should do what 90% of users want right out of the box.
We can discuss the next phase after evaluating the changes to frameworks and whatnot that will get Gapps and other crucial stuff up and running - that will prove to be a more difficult task than simply breaking in to the stock system. Judging by work that was done for previous iterations of Autonooter, there are enough framework changes that it's going to take some time to work out the details.
BTW, if anyone on that team would like to share information, please contact me and I'll see what I can do to help.
If there's no R/w toggle it means somethings wrong with Root Explorer, you should look into that problem as opposed to just fixing it by remounting system in init.rc this is not a good fix for something like this and shouldn't be acceptable. There's a reason the toggles built in and that's to help protect the /system folder.

Hmmmmm.....guess I'll have to spring for root explorer and dig through logcat to see what's going on. It could totally be some goofy B&N thing that's screwey on this one device. More after the break....

Please explain how you got amazon appstore on there. I signed in on mazon had it send me the link on the nook to download it which i did. When i clicked on it brought up chice to run with app installer or package installer of which one gave me a parse error and the other did nothing.
Any ideas?
So, is this a full rom that I can flash my 1.1 nook into 1.2?

Good work Ham. The apps used to show after rebooting under the Extras section(Now called Apps), they are not now after the framework butchering they did. However, I installed Applanet and all I had to do was a search on the device and there it was. It launched fine and downloaded apps no issue.

since people do not pay attention at this FAQ linked in miniCM7 first post,
[*]i decided to create a new thread dedicated to Q&A about miniCM7 and nAa's kernel
this thread is the place of your questions, answers, tips about nAa's kernel and miniCM7 by nAa
so please, as usual, read FAQ, use search option or anything else before asking commonly answered questions
the FAQ will be incremented when needed
the Q&A are in random order
before all the Q&A below : one is most important :
in order to install miniCM7 2.1.X you NOW need :
- to read this upgrade guide
- to read that post
- to unlock your bootloader (see also here)
- to flash nAa's kernel for X10mini, for X8, for x10miniPRO
if not, you will brick your phone. -> read this then, that may help you : !!!!
--> i think it is still too small ...
something else that is useful to read before asking :
Here we (nearly all? XDA members, regardless of being devs or only users [like me], me at least ) don't care about your good/bad English the important is trying to be understood and to understand the content of the threads
only ask things you can't find, or you don't understand, please if you don't understand something in any process tell us exactly where is your problem : it will optimize the answer
sometime rephrasing things can make you understand better, feel free to help us for making the most understandable sentence for anybody
i'm always trying to use a proper English (not so easy for a non native English ^^)
but if there's something misunderstood because of my English your are welcome to correct me
BUT if you don't make the effort to read, I won't make the effort to answer (ok, you can't read everything... but read the minimum )
that's it
Instructions regarding miniCM7-2.1.X installation:
Download the latest all-in-one package from the release link that follows
Backup your /data contents: contacts, apps, sms, etc. or backup via recovery
Move the MiniCM7-xxx.zip to the root folder of your sdcard and rename it to update.zip. Optionally, download the suggested Google Apps for CM7 (check http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/ if you want to experiment with other gapps versions)
Unlock your bootloader, if you haven't already, using the stuff in unlock/ folder. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225 for a nice tutorial
Flash the nAa kernel using Flashtool. To to this:
- Turn off your phone
- Start the Flashtool\X10FlashTool.exe and select Flash. Then select the E10_nAaxxx kernel firmware (this flashes both the kernel.sin and the loader.sin)
- Keep the back button pressed while connecting the usb cable. Flashtool should detect your phone and flash the kernel.
- Once done, disconnect the usb cable and power on the phone.
Once the logo appears, press the back button repeatedly to enter CWM4.x.
- Select 'backup and restore -> Backup'
- Select 'wipe data/factory reset' (SUGGESTED)
- Select 'apply update from sdcard'
- Flash gapps
Reboot (first boot will take ~2 mins)
Once your device has booted, you can navigate to CM Settings -> System -> Update notifications and select 'Register'. This way you can get update notifications on new versions of MiniCM7!

FAQ :
for miniCM9 refer to THIS THREAD PLEASE
for quick search, use ctrl+f and enter keyword, you should find an answer to your question
1/ I can’t see incoming call number, what can I do ?
Change CM Settings -> Lockscreen -> Style options -> Incoming call style choose sliding tabs
2/ my LED is not blinking properly is there any way to change that?
If you’re using miniCM 2.0.5 you must delete delete /system/lib/hw/lights.x10mini.so
If you’re using miniCM 2.0.6 & 2.0.7, 2.1.0,2.1.1, 2.1.2or2.1.3 you must delete /system/lib/hw/lights.robyn.so with rootexplorer or any other file manager that allows you to explore and modify root files
handcent led settings does not work properly with lights.robyn.so
of course, you need to reboot your phone after that.
then : After the restart, go to CyanogenMod settings/Interface/LED notifications/Advanced make sure everything is unchecked, select Reset and then reboot again.
of course, you need to reboot your phone after that.
also try this : go to CyanogenMod settings/Interface/LED notifications/Advanced then tick and untick "random colors" this may solve everything if not :
MarkMRL said:
By ticking and unticking everything a few times randomly, I probably triggered the random flag to update correctly, thus fixing the blinking color. Now I can select a color and have it blink normally.

you can"t delete the file? see q33/
REDELETE AFTER EACH UPDATE if you have the same problem SINCE THE FILE IS REWRITTEN
this Q/A2 is also True for all builds of MiniCM9 and 10
3/I want SE stock keyboard on this ROM !!
Just long press on any txt you’re typing on, “choose input method” then choose default input
4/ I’m already running an older version on miniCM7 (2.0.4 for example) do I have to perform a factory reset/ full wipe ?
There’s no need to factory reset in that case
you may have to perform this to avoid performance issue : here
5/ I’m already running an older version on miniCM6 (1.0.2 for example) do I have to perform a factory reset/ full wipe ?
Yes, absolutely, same as if you were under gingerDX, SE stock rom or any other non miniCM7 based. you will loose ALL your data that are on phone memory (sms/mms, contacts, calendar...) if you're sync to a google account, your contacts and calendar should be preserved
q4/ and q5/ : to upgrade from any version of miniCM below 2.1.X you need an unlocked bootloader, and to flash nAa's kernel !
all is explain in the first lines of this post
6/ how can I activate overclock or undervolt ?
Open CMsettings/performances/CPUsettings/ then tick overclock OR undervolt, undervolt is automatically activated with overclock.
Remember not to tick “set on boot” option if you’re trying frequenies upper than 710 that could make your phone unstable or being damaged.
for miniCM7 2.0.6 you also need to flash the module hotfix to see overclock/undervolt working
no need to install that for 2.0.7, see Q 16/
for nAa07+ and miniCM7-2.1.6+, Open CMsettings/performances/CPUsettings/,
Remember not to tick “set on boot” option if you’re trying frequenies upper than 710 that could make your phone unstable or being damaged.
Since OC is now embedded in kernel, no module to enable (so OC option disappeared!), if you want to OC only, just choose the freq, if you want to undervolt too, tick undervolt option !
7/ i'm actually using Xrecovery can i install miniCM7 directly ?
no, you can't, you first need to install clockworkmod recovery from the link given in the first post (put in on the root of your sd card, then reboot to recovery, "install custom zip", reboot : cwm recovery is now installed, you can flash this ROM )
8/ i can't download some apps from the market
download 'market enabler' and select T-mobile Usa as fake provider, then retry to search and download them. that should work
9/ random problems that are unknown for anyody?
reflash the rom, i.e. reinstall the rom zip trough recovery
&/or
first backup, then do a factory reset, or restart from the beginning, it could solve lots of problem (you will loose ALL your data that are on phone memory (sms/mms, contacts, calendar...) if you're sync to a google account, your contacts and calendar should be preserved)
you may have to perform this to avoid performance issue : here
10/ i own a X10miniPRO (u20i) does this ROM suites to this phone?
NO,No, and No this ROM is ONLY for X10mini (e10i/e10a) not for any other phone [a version is also available for X8, in the X8 section.]
edit : there is a version for minPRO available here so the ROM suites to X10mini, X8 and X10miniPRO in their respective version
11/ my battery is draining so fast ... what should i do ?
first calibrate your battery by fully charging your phone, then reboot into recovery, select Advanced/Wipe Battery Stats and then unplug and reboot
if there's no improvement so far
- see if there's app running always in the background
- look in CyanogenMod settings/Interface/LED notifications/Advanced make sure radom is not ticked
12/ i have installed minicm7 when i power on the phone it stuck on cyanogen 7 logo. what should i do.
does your phone comply to the conditions of the first post ?
if yes and if you can access to CWMrecovery, then reflash the rom and/or factory reset (you will loose ALL your data that are on phone memory (sms/mms, contacts, calendar...) if you're sync to a google account, your contacts and calendar should be preserved)
if not or if you can't access to CWM use Sony Ericsson Update Service to recover your phone as if it was out of the box (you will loose ALL your data that are on phone memory (sms/mms, contacts, calendar...) if you're sync to a google account, your contacts and calendar should be preserved)
13/ in the default input method, when i scroll down/up the "-,?,!,@,_ ..." & emoticons menu until it stops itself, the keyboard remains froozen
rotate your screen and this will be fixed, and don't scroll this violently
14/ app2SD and other features aren't working with 2.0.6, why is that?
for miniCM7 2.0.6 you also need to flash the module hotfix to see all the modules working (oc; uv; app2sd...)

you may first need to choose speaker, and then handfree to route radio correctly (may happen each tile the radio is started...)
16/ i want to install 2.0.7, do I have to install hotfix from 2.0.6?
no you don't : each hotfix is specific of each version
"module hotfix" was for 2.0.6 not 2.0.7
17/ where are market, gmail and other google apps ????
you seem not have read carefully the first post : you need to flash gapps via CWM after flashing the ROM in order to use google services!

there is an app2sd storing to FAT feature.
so you don't need any ext partition
but if you have an ext partition on your SD, then it should be used automatically.

Hi folks!
I have tried to find in this thread info on how to enable the sonyericsson version of android market, but i with no luck.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
hertell said:
I reply to myself after getting help from matmutant.
I was looking for two different things: Getting the Sony Ericsson menu to the market, and enabling the Road Sync app that's free for SonyEricsson X10 mini users
To enable the SonyEricsson market, you need to edit the /system/build.prop file. Please be careful when you edit the file. If you mess up the file, you might get a phone that you can't boot (this can be fixed, cause i messed up a couple fo times I explain this later).
You can either just change the keys, or do like below: comment the old values with a # as the first char on the row, and write the new below.
Code:
#ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-google
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sonyericsson
ro.com.google.clientidbase.yt=android-sonyericsson
ro.com.google.clientidbase.am=android-sonyericsson
ro.com.google.clientidbase.vs=android-sonyericsson
ro.com.google.clientidbase.gmm=android-sonyericsson
For enabling the RoadSync app (or i guess any other app that want's to verify that it's running on a real SE-phone), then do these changes:
Code:
#ro.product.model=X10mini
#ro.product.brand=SE
#ro.product.name=robyn
#ro.product.device=robyn
#ro.product.board=robyn
ro.product.model=E10i
ro.product.brand=SEMC
ro.product.name=E10i_1237-0392
ro.product.device=SonyEricssonE10i
ro.product.board=delta
#ro.product.manufacturer=SE
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson
As I mentioned earlier, i messed up the /system/build.prop file at one point. To get this fixed, i just rebootet into recoverymode, and mounted /system. After this i could use adb (found in the android-sdk) to copy back an corrected build.prop (./adb push build.prop /system/build.prop)
I had also an other issue with the android-market app. It crashed and got stuck a couple of times, so i fixed this by uninstalling the recent update from manage applications->All->Market.
I hope my changes don't break anything for the CM7, so please if you know that CM7 needs any of these keys i changed in build.prop, then please inform me

20/ i can't pull off the notification menu by pressing the bottom of the screen after opening notifications... only for 2.0.7 and previous builds!
it is somewhat hard to close notifications like this (sometime easy sometimes not.) just press back button and all would be fine
regarding 2.1.0+ and custom kernel :
my phone is laggy with 2.1.0 and crashes when screen goes off
it seems that on some phones, lockscreen is related to phone crash:
waiting for a fix,DustArma found a workaround :
DustArma said:
To everyone who has the lockscreen crashing problem, just disable it.
Go to Menu > Settings > CM Settings > Tablet tweaks > Disable lockscreen.
Now it won't freeze, but of course you won't have a lockscreen, that could be fixed by downloading a custom lockscreen from market though
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
DustArma said:
I can confirm that replacement Lockscreens from the market, such as WidgetLocker and Simply Lockscreen will work, so just follow my instructions to disable the lockscreen and then download a replacement one from the market, this will be a good enough workaround until nAa fixes the lockscreen reboot issue some of us are having.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
---> reported to work. the phone won't freeze anymore, nor need reboots
BETTER WAY : flash miniCM7-2.1.1 that seems to fix the lock screen problem with carrier.

yes it is normal, this is a kernel bug, don't worry about that it has been fixed since nAa_kernel 04
when you see that thing it's time to press back button if you want to access recovery
23/ offline charging doesn't work, and my phone boots instead when i plug it to charge, why?
for 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3,2.1.4 & 2.1.5 there is no offline charging due to kernel+cwm (not implemented yet ?), as a result, the phone boots up
fixed with nAa kernel07+miniCM7-2.1.6 !

25/ where can i find themes for my mini? (theme chooser themes...)

here are some themes : pedrocel85 thread
sensified theme : NTsense
sony blue
sony green
CM9 like theme : by ronaldvalles
theme reference : here
flashable theme : black HTC --> WARNING : this destroys stocktheme of CM and takes place instead !!
26/ i'have some problem for sending mms (data enabled) --> with CM7 you just CANT send mms without data enabled
in that case :
DaRk_dOg said:
I think that this is a common issue with CM7 and not just MiniCM7 (I experienced it on my DHD too).
Here is a small workaround for now:
Before sending the mms, disable data traffic, then enable it again and then send your mms.
You have to do it every time, before an mms but it is working for me.

./android
from the graphic menu install the platform tools
after the installal,go in the platform-tool directory and give theese commands

33/ how to edit/delete stuff in /system using rootexplorer?
in the top of rootexplorer there is a button (mount r/w)
touch it, then it will say the /system is mounted as read/write and the button becomes (mount r/o) or something like that
you now can edit the files
34/ if you disabled the bootanimation, the first boot after applying update will seem to be VERY VERY VERY long with a black screen. don't be afraid
for 2.1.6+, when bootanimation is disabled, the kernel bootlogo is displayed instead, after a purple led blinking once
35/ can i apply update 2.1.3 without flashing nAa kernel05 ?
you shouldn't try, 2.1.3 is dependent to kernel05 !
36/ how do i enable USB tether?

37/ i've got an issue with SDcard : i can't install the rom since CWMrecovery says that sdcard cannot be mounted !
download sdcard formatter from here and format the sd

supercharger optimization that can be usefull :
before updating to newer miniCM,
unsupercharge,
delete supercharger backups and
update to the new miniCM,
then resupercharge if you want
if you don't do that, you may experience some tricky problems if unsupercharging newer miniCM !
if you didn't, ofc don't complain about performance problem
SuperCharger v6 update9-RC1 ONLY for SuperCharger v6 update9 6.2.2 see the middle/end of this post!
first optimization:
1 Download SCRIPT MANAGER FROM MARKET
2 Go to this thread and download SuPERCHARGER SCRIPT 6 update9-RC1
3 Open program, load the script, Tick option run as ROOT.
in program dialog, type "1(fast)" and "enter"
4 answer properly to asked questions by the script !!
5 In main Dialog, type "4" "super UL (aggressive)" and "enter"
6 type 30 (exit) and then "enter" -->at the top you see: running becoming exit code0
7 press "close" (it was "kill" while the script was running)
8 reboot
9 now your phone uses supercharger, you don't need to run it again
another one that seems to be better for our phone (since miniCM7-2.1.3) :
another opti : (i tested and approve this to be somewhat working )

40/ why do i have an annoying pop up asking for unlock key when i boot up my phone?
ferotakis said:
after little talk with one my friend we figure it out why in some provider is asking this code and in some not( like my case)
The reason is: This ROM is not legal I mean the original one from the Sony who before opening to users in theirs regions firs will be sent to operators , operators check it and then when you use for example Vodafone.de Vodafone.de if aprove the Sony ROM send a notification to users for a update is ON. When users updates their phone with the operator passed ROM they can be ''seen'' by the operator what type of phone with what type ot Android they are use and can send them auto setings like the APN MMS and etc.
If you want see the truelles of this just call your operator and ask them for auto APN . Try it if you have x10 mini with stock rom and with x10 mini with this one
In firs one operator say you : Ok i see in system you are using x10 mini vith android 2.1 i will send you the setings . But with this room she/he ask you what type of phone do you use bicoz I cant see it on system.
This is same wit the automated operator menus too : when you pres 4 (for example ) in voice menu and ask for a auto internet setings the autovoice say sorry we not support you phone yet will try again later.
This is not big deal for now bicoz the most of operators APN is already configuret but if you use operator who is not includet you cant use mobile data bicoz you not have APNs.
That is wy this code is asking for when you put some of providers sim some of them make theirs system in that way ... its more easy for them but for us is just annoing popup window

to disable the network lock dialog after pin input, add this line at the end of your build.prop (/system/build.prop)
Code:
ro.telephony.ril_skip_locked=true
then reboot
to re-enable change the value to "false", or delete the line
how to : use rootexplorer,
go to the right place,
then long press on the file,
choose "open in text editor" in the scrolling menu

to get Google Maps Precache working with x10mini / e10i
edit your /system/build.prop and add
Code:
ro.opengles.version=131072
I added that line above ro.com.google.locationfeatures=1
- reboot after editing and maybe
- delete app data of maps
Here is the link of the thread i found it:

47/ What is exactly WLOD? :?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it is the led that turns on in white when a kernel panic happens (unix's BSOD [Blue Screen Of Death that happens on windows when a critical hard/software error happens and needs the system to freeze to prevent a data loss)
White Led Of Death is meant to help to see from where comes the bug (i.e. if it comes from kernel : white led!)
some more precisions about the LED : here !
48/ concerning wifi, if it stops working at all, first try to delete wpa_supplicant.conf in data/misc/wifi or read Qs 24, 37b and 43
49/
Dualtouch:
If you want to enable the fake DT by dx (instead of andrej456's which is the default), you have to insert the following line in the /system/etc/hw_config.sh file:
insmod /system/lib/modules/synaptics_i2c_rmi4_dt.ko
If you want to remove the fake DT altogether, insert the following line in the /system/etc/hw_config.sh file:
insmod /system/lib/modules/synaptics_i2c_rmi4_no_dt.ko

50/ Hmm... So the new a2sd is essentially data2ext? Will I have problems upgrading as I'm on ext2, which is not supported?

Here's a brief explanation for A2SD/DC2SD/Swap:
A2SD/DC2SD only makes sense if you have /data that is over 200MB i.e. many apps.
Swap is useful if you need to run memory-hungry apps or wanna have more apps loaded in memory.
Any size for swap should be good depending on your needs (e.g. 128MB). To verify a2sd is loaded, run df via adb shell. It should show /data/app and /data/app-private mounted in /sd-ext.
Also /data/dalvik-cache should be mounted to /sd-ext/dalvik-cache if DC2SD is chosen.
To verify swap is used, try the command 'free' via adb shell.
None of the above are for the everyday/novice users. You have to know what you are doing.

from which rom did you upgrade ?
I don't really understand why do you use link2sd since this feature is embedded in the rom ...
you should better delete the content of the ext partition and use gb app2sd feature

but if you create an ext partition, it should be recognized by GB native app2sd... and you will be able to only mount fat part of your sd .. no?
